The greenback labor ywrty conven
tion of New York held a stormy ses
sion in New York city on the 9th inst.
Tiie discussion over the question of
admitting representatives from the
anti-ir.onopoly and independent citieens'
parties to the convention was acrimo
nious and excited, and resulted in the
jt-jtion of one of the committeemen
toui the room.
The Iowa democrats nominated for
governor a copperhead who proclaimed
from the stump in 1862 his hope that
no soldier who left the state would re
turn alive. On the tail, for lieuten

cranky, prohibitionist. The rest of
the ticket is made up of greenback
material. Now, how is that for a
political crazy quilt? Chattanooga

Out in Harney valley there is said
to be a swamp land settler who pur
chased from one of the "swamp an
gels" that gobbled all cite land over
there under that title from the State,
who is sinking an artesian well upon
the site to get water. This is on a
par, says an exchange, with the letter
of a leading ex State official, who in
formed a Canadian syndicate of capital
ists who were about to purchase a
block of a million acres or so of Oregon
swamp lands, that much of it was
"capable of cultivation if irrigated."
The Woman's Industrial League of

demand that Chinese laundries shall

such laws that will protect the indus
trious of this country from further
encroachment of these heathen barba

ries Manning and Lamar for the. en
couragement given these Chinese laundries.
Tammany hall general committee, at
a lat" meeting, passed resolutions rela
ting to civil service reform, demanding
from the state and federal authorities
the complete redemption of pledges
made by the democratic party at the
Lite presidential election, to secure to
the people of the state and nation an
efficient, capable and honest public
service, protesting against any legisla
tive or administrative measure which
may tend to create a permanent office
holding class in this country; denoun
cing all attempts to gi ant life tenure
of office to any body of public servants
as the first step toward subversion
of those doctrines of equality which
have been the safeguard of the repub
lic, declaring that appointments to offi
ces should be made on the untrammel
cd and undivided responsibility of pub
lic officei-s chosen by the people for
that purpose, aud answerable to their
constituents for the manner in which
they have discharged their trusts;
that the creation of irresponsible boards
of commissioners, vested with author
ity to control or interfere with exercise
of the power of appointments by elec
tive officers is and abridgement of the
powers conferred on the chosen ser
vants of the people, and condemning it
as it as an unwarrantable invasion of
j.nblic rights and an undemocratic and
indefensible restriction of the v igor and
effect of suffrage.
harbor improvements in Oregon 'have
been prepared by the United States
Engineers, for transmission to congress:
ENTRANCE TO COOS BAA'.
The project for the application of
the appropriation of July 5, 18?5, was
for continuing the low enrockment.
Theenrockinent was advanced seventy
two feet, making the total jetty length
measured on its top surface 1761 feet.
The effect of the jetty on the channel
during the year, beyond a fair stability
of position, has not been marked. The
examination shows an increase of bar
channel depth of about one foot and a
snail continued favorable erosion of the
north spit List year's amelioration
of the shoal above Fearless rock has
continued. Jetty construction across
the deep interior channel is expensive,
and a considerable advance of the work
made gradually is required for a radi
cal improvement. The amount esti
mated as required for next year is S'160,
000. YAQUINA BAY.
In resuming oppe rations under the
new appropriation the approved plan
was to close the land gap by jetty con
struction, build a spur northward for
the protection of the bank, and heavily
strengthen the jetty with larger rock.
The jetty now brought to an average
height of high tide, measures 2,517
feet. The spur jetty for shore protect
ion is 450 feet long. The work is left
in excellent condition, and will proba
bly be ready for a speedy extension
of the jetty when funds permit. It is
desirible to complete the work in two
years. The main channel is a little
more southerly, and the north one
somewhat, under and perhaps deeper
than a year ago. The changes on the
whole are considered favorable for the
improvement. For the next year
$ 160,000 is asked.
COQUILI.E RIVER.
A low, attenuated jetty of a total
length of 1,365 feet had caused the
radical changes in the entrance de
signed by the project. The improved
channel was straight, direct, and free
from rocks. The situation a year la
ter was that nearly all temporary jetty
work had been displaced by sea and
drifts, and the adjacent fill had disap
peared. During the past year 442
feet of jetty stucture were built, and
the total jetty length is 1,523 feet.
The work of improvement needs to be
solidfied and extended. For the next
year 70,000 is required.
UPPER COLUMBIA AND SNAKE RIVERS.
"The work on this river is verydif
ficult owing to the extremely swift
water, and can only be prosecuted at
passable stages near low water. It is
proposed to apply the appropriation
asked for the removal of rocks and cob
blestone ban to the completion of the
project, which is intened to secure a
Inw water channel of five and a half
feet in the Columbia, as far as Ains
wor th, and four and a half feet in the
Snake, as far as Le vistou, Id iho."
"For the Columbia river above the
mouth of tire Snake no estimate is
presented, pending the results of the
anrv ev of Priest's ranids. It will take
$3G,000 to complete the project
COWLITZ RIVER.
"The amount expended on this rir-
er has neen w,sroo. i
lieen satisfactorily done, resulting in a
good improvement to navigation. It
has made a commercial development
verr large in proportion to the sum ex
tended, and I am of the opinion that
opperations should be extended to Klik
itat bridge, about twenty miles far
ther up the river, and also to include
shore protection whatever it may be
necessary to prevent the river from
making its channel too wide. The
estimate of $6,000 submitted has "this
extension in view."
SURVEY OF COLUMBIA AND SNAKE
RIVERS.
"The time has arrived when further
progress in the improvements of the
upper Columbia and Snake rivers
must be proceeded by a careful survty.
The Columbia river has now been sur
veyed as far up from the sea as the
mouth of the Willamette, at the Cas
cades and at The Dalles, and the sur
vey of Priest's rapids. It is perfectly
obvious that any further projects can
only be intelligently guided by a good
survey. I cannot too strongly urge
the necessity for this survey. These
are rivers of commanding importance,
and it is quite time that they should
be studied by the light of careful
survey;-, such as are now in progress
upon the Mississippi and Misouri riv-
would be, in ronndnumbers, $115,000.
"This can be advantageously ex-1
pended in two annual installments of i
$40,000 and one of $35,000.
The postoffice department at Wash
ington is making arrangements for the
special delivery system, which goes
into effect on Oct. 1st, 1885.
California democrats are working
themselves into a fever heat in con
tending for offices under the present
administration. So bitter the strife
has become between the contending
factions that each claim they would
rather see the republican officials con
tinue in office than see the other fac
tion triumphant. To all of this Presi
dent Cleveland is said to have taken a
decided stand and has given politicians
in that state, as well as other states
where such strife exists, to understand
that he will not listen to anything
further in reference to those offices,
and that no appointments will be made
until such strife ceases.
